[Verse]

C C7 F F7 Bb Bbm

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling

F Dm Dm7 G7 C7

From glen to glen, and down the mountain side

F F7 Bb Bbm

The summer's gone, and all the roses fallin'

F Dm Gm7 C7 F Bb F

It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.

[Chorus]

C7 F Bb Bbm F

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow

C7 Dm7 F Bb F G7 C7

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow

F F7 Bb Bbm F Dm G7

It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow

Gm7 F Dm Dm7 Gm7 Bb C F Bb Bbm F

Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

C F F7 Bb Bbm F

But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying

C7 Dm F Bb F G G7 C7

If I am dead, as dead I well may be

F F7 Bb Bbm F Dm G7

You'll come and find the place where I am lying

Gm F Dm Dm7 Gm7 Bb C F Bb Bbm F

And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

[Verse]

C7 F Bb Bbm F

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me

C Dm F Bb F G C7

And all my grave will warmer sweeter be

F F7 Bb Bbm F Dm G7

For you will bend and tell me that you love me

Gm7 F Dm7 Gm7 C7 F Bb Bbm F

And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
